lol, no it fucking wasn't

2018-10-07 05:25:21 UTC  

Even Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz didn't act like spastics post-fight

2018-10-07 05:25:39 UTC  

Dana White has been banking on Connor disrespect and drama generated from it

2018-10-07 05:25:53 UTC  

What Conor does is nothing new

2018-10-07 05:25:54 UTC  

at all

2018-10-07 05:25:58 UTC  

And now he's gonna act all surprised, "oh how did this happend"

2018-10-07 05:26:05 UTC  

And is absolutely nothing compared to boxing

2018-10-07 05:26:09 UTC  

`What Conor does is nothing new` Exactly

2018-10-07 05:26:16 UTC  

Exactly what?

2018-10-07 05:26:24 UTC  

Noone else has spazzed out post-fight like this

2018-10-07 05:27:01 UTC  

No one else acts like Connor over and over.

2018-10-07 05:27:14 UTC  

pfffffffffhahaha

2018-10-07 05:27:17 UTC  

If that's justifiable because he brings money in

2018-10-07 05:27:18 UTC  

absolute bullshit mate

2018-10-07 05:27:27 UTC  

Then this is the new standard set up by the new champion

2018-10-07 05:27:33 UTC  

clearly new to all this, aren't you

2018-10-07 05:27:40 UTC  

After the fight you can turn into a bar fight

2018-10-07 05:27:50 UTC  

yeah nah

2018-10-07 05:27:53 UTC  

Because champion

2018-10-07 05:29:49 UTC  

A good fighter should be able to just go in for the actual fight and not be contractually be forced to participate in such shit talk shows if it's not what is there for.

2018-10-07 05:30:44 UTC  

There *is* nothing in the contract that says you have to talk a certain way, bud

2018-10-07 05:30:57 UTC  

Every fighter is different

2018-10-07 05:31:34 UTC  

Most are hugely confident in themselves and many will talk shit as part of the pre-fight spararing to A) get into their opponents head and B) because yes, it generates interest in the fight

2018-10-07 05:32:09 UTC  

I guess you just like the drama, must be an English first language thing 😄

2018-10-07 05:32:38 UTC  

That doesn't suddenly mean it's okay to leap the cage and attack someone in the crowd post fight (after you WIN, no less)

2018-10-07 05:32:50 UTC  

Oddly enough I haven't said anything about whether or not I 'like the drama'

2018-10-07 05:32:58 UTC  

I've been following combat sports for well over ten years

2018-10-07 05:33:11 UTC  

Some fighters are brash, some are quiet

2018-10-07 05:33:21 UTC  

All part of what makes it such a fascinating sport to watch

2018-10-07 05:33:33 UTC  

Massive variation in the characters that populate it

2018-10-07 05:33:57 UTC  

BJ Penn came from a wealthy family and didn't even need to fight to begin with, but did so because of the challenge it presented

2018-10-07 05:34:33 UTC  

Dana White, the UFC, the House, banks on shit talk and drama to sell tickets

2018-10-07 05:34:50 UTC  

And I laugh at their moral surprise at something like this happening

2018-10-07 05:34:54 UTC  

Almost like they're a promotion or something <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2018-10-07 05:34:58 UTC  

Yeah, it wasn't their plans

2018-10-07 05:35:15 UTC  

You think someone attacking someone in the crowd post-fight is a regular thing

2018-10-07 05:35:17 UTC  

interesting.

2018-10-07 05:35:21 UTC  

The drama game went to far and all

2018-10-07 05:35:46 UTC  

But don't act surprise when that's the position you people in.

2018-10-07 05:35:47 UTC  

The amount of things I've heard said between fighters over the years, pre-fight

2018-10-07 05:35:51 UTC
